Legend in Blazor Maps Component
4 Aug 202324 minutes to read
A Legend is a visual representation of the symbols used on the Maps. It can be represented in various colors, shapes or other identifiers based on the data and provides valuable information for interpreting what the Maps are displaying. It explains what each symbol in the Maps represents. Legends are enabled by setting the Visible property of MapsLegendSettings to true.
Modes of legend
Legend had two types of mode.
- Default mode
- Interactive mode
Default mode
Default mode legends have symbols with legend labels which are used to identify the shape or bubble or marker color. Enable this option by setting the Mode property of MapsLegendSettings as Default.
Interactive mode
The legends can be made interactive with an arrow mark indicating the exact range color in the legend when the mouse hovers over the corresponding shapes. To enable this type of mode by setting the Mode property of MapsLegendSettings as Interactive. The InvertedPointer property is used to enable or disable the visibility of the inverted pointer in interactive legend in Maps.

Positioning of the legend
The legend can be positioned in the following two ways:
- Absolute position
- Dock position
Absolute position
The legend of the Maps can be positioned using the X and Y properties in the MapsLegendSettings. For positioning the legend based on co-ordinates corresponding to Maps, the Position property is set as Float.
Dock position
Legends are positioned in the following locations within the container. The Position property in MapsLegendSettings is used to set these options in Maps.
- Top
- Left
- Bottom
- Right
The above four positions can be aligned with combination of Near, Center, and Far using Alignment property in MapsLegendSettings. So, the legend can be aligned to 12 positions.

Legend for shapes
Legend for shapes can be generated from color mapping types such as equal color mapping, range color mapping and desaturation color mapping.
The following code snippet demonstrates the equal color mapping legends for the shapes. To bind the MembershipDetails data to the DataSource property of MapsLayer, set the value of ShapePropertyPath to name and ShapeDataPath to Country. To enable equal color mapping, set the MapsShapeColorMapping in MapsShapeSettings. Finally, set the Visible property of MapsLegendSettings as true. The Label property in MapsColorMapping is used to set the text name for legend in Maps.

Legend for items excluded from color mapping
The legend can be enabled for items excluded from the color mapping using the Color property in MapsShapeColorMapping.
In the following example, color mapping is added for the ranges from 0 to 200. If there are any records in the data source that are outside of this range, the color mapping will not be applied. To apply the color for these excluded items, set the Color property alone in the MapsShapeColorMapping. To enable legend for these items, set the Visible property of MapsLegendSettings to true.
